FLORIDA MAN ARRESTED FOR RUNNING A PETTING ZOO CONSISTING ENTIRELY OF NEIGHBORHOOD CATS CAPE CORAL, FLORIDA — Duane Prosser, 58, was arrested Saturday after neighbors discovered his front-yard "petting zoo" was made up entirely of cats belonging to other households, charging $5 admission to pet animals he did not own. He allegedly charged $5 admission using a hand-painted cardboard sign Investigators confirmed all seven cats on display belonged to neighboring households Multiple families reportedly filed missing pet reports before the connection was made Prosser reportedly fed and watered the cats, believing this justified the fees Neighbors say he'd been luring cats into the yard with treats for nearly a month "I've responded to loose livestock, illegal exotic pets, one guy with an alligator in a kiddie pool," said animal control officer Renata Byrd. "Never a full petting zoo built entirely out of stolen neighborhood cats." The cardboard "Petting Zoo $5" sign, still staked in the yard, reportedly declined to comment. He built an empire on borrowed cats — now the whole operation's been repossessed. Images and full story copyrighted TBC Viral Media 2026. #funny #comedy #fblifestyle #satire #FORENTERTAINMENTONLY
